February 2013: Sempiternal

Half an hour into their journey to the hospital, the silence was still ruling over the atmosphere between Erdogan and Raeliana. 

The man was wary of asking the woman about the conversation that she just had. However, he had an inkling as to what was causing her unease, considering that he heard her saying some words pertaining to Syn's hospitalization. 

"Raeliana, are you alright? Do you want to drink something to help you calm down first?" Erdogan said as he put a hand on her quivering shoulder. "We can stop by somewhere to get you a coffee. It might be better if y-"

Raeliana hurriedly shook her head, disallowing Erdogan from finishing his sentence. Without giving the man a single glance, she sighed and said, "No, I have to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Every second is important right now, Erdogan."
